Entropy Arts & Entropy Ensemble
Entropy Ensemble evolved out of the success of a few experimental concerts put on by Andrew Walker while studying music at the College of Charleston. In 2007 Walker produced “Musical Reworkings of Radiohead,” 07' and "Fitter Happier"08'. Both productions featured instrumental performances of the music of Radiohead for various instrumental ensembles. Walker formed
Entropy Ensemble in July 09' and created the "Radiohead Project" with 4 fellow College of Charleston music alum including: Lonnie Root (cello), Stuart White (drums and percussion), Bell Wells (Bass) and Jaiver Orman (Violin). From classical to jazz, to rock and pop, each member of the group comes from a diverse musical training and background, bringing something different to the table. In Fall of 09' the group recorded their first EP titled "Between the Lines" which features 3 instrumental performances of Radiohead. In Spring of 2010 EE toured the East Coast with artists Skylar Grey and Duncan Sheik. In November of 2010, Ensemble Ensemble presented a multi-media performance featuring a collaboration between, Entropy Ensemble, Annex Dance Company and world renowned pianist,Christopher O'Riley at the Sottile Theater in Charleston SC. In May of 2011 Entropy Arts made its debut with "JAIL BREAK", an all encompassing arts festival held at the Old City Jail in downtown Charleston. “JAIL BREAK” brings together a wide variety of local arts including: visual art, photography, film, animation, live dance and music, building arts and more. Entropy Arts continues to grow and plans to present their first performing arts season at the Hippodrome Theater in 2012 in addition to presenting "JAIL BREAK" biannually.
